The Denver Broncos could have an $85 million problem on their hands if Russell Wilson's regression reaches the point where they need to move on altogether next offseason.
That's the amount of dead money the Broncos would be carrying if they cut Wilson in 2024, per Spotrac. They'd also have a $49.6 million cap charge. By designating him as a post-June 1 cut, Denver would have dead money hits of $35.4 million in 2024 and $49.6 million in 2025
Trading Wilson would be a little less burdensome since the Broncos would have $68 million in dead money and $32.
